2005 Ford F150 Reviews - Page 2 of 3

2005 Ford F150 STX 4.6 from North America

Summary:

Excellent truck that definitely lives up to the motto, Built Ford Tough!

Faults:

Although I've only had this particular F150 for a year, I have had absolutely no problems with it.

This truck had about 33,300 miles on it the day I bought it, and due to a 60 mile per day roundtripper to work, I have put about 17,000 additional miles on it to date.

My only expenses so far have strictly been in the "NORMAL" upkeep in maintaining it.

General Comments:

Not surprisingly, having owned several Fords in the past, I am extremely pleased with this one as well. It's spacious, handles great considering that it's a pick-up, great power and towing, huge cargo space for hauling, body is strong and tight, and I get all this in a great looking truck. Best of all, I got it all at a great price too!

I can't speak for everyone, but I'm getting excellent gas mileage from this truck, especially considering that it's V8. Although I haven't gauged it in several months, I got about 21 miles per gallon on my first four fill-ups using BP gasoline.

I feel your pain man, I really do. I have a '08 F150 (V6) and it too has a rough idle to it, comes and goes. Ford says they lean out the emissions at idle, I don't buy it. Mine seems underpowered, even with the manual trans it feels like a 4 banger. Beautiful truck, but don't try to do work with it, it will not have the power for the job.

2005 Ford F150 FX4 5.4 from North America

Summary:

The 2004 to 2008 F-150's are 10 times better than the older F-150 models

Faults:

Nothing went wrong.

General Comments:

This truck is beautiful, handles like driving a race car, is quiet and and has a comfortable ride.

Excellent climate controls.

With the 3.73 rear slip differential, I never have to switch it to 4 wheel drive. I never owned a better 4x4 truck with as good 2 wheel drive traction this truck has. I live in a heavy lake effect snow belt area where 4 wheel drive is needed, and I am amazed how good it goes through heavy snow, without slipping a wheel in heavy snow.

2005 Ford F150 Supercrew 5.4 from North America

Faults:

I have never read anything about the HEATER in the F150 super crew. I live in Minnesota where it does get COLD. We have climate control in the truck. The passenger front is approx. 30 degrees colder than drivers side. I have had it in twice to repair, but no change.. LAST FORD FOR ME!!!
